In the U.S., a growing movement of “effective altruists” is taking the threat of an AI superintelligence gone rogue seriously, preparing a Plan B.
Convinced that an uncontrolled AI could spell disaster, they are taking drastic measures:
- Digging bunkers and stockpiling weapons to ensure safety.
- Drafting evacuation plans for a swift retreat.
- Investing in self-sustaining farms and even purchasing islands as potential refuges.
- Developing instant shut-off systems to disable AI networks.
The concept is straightforward: if AI ever decides to seize control of the planet, humanity needs a fallback where it can start anew. This blend of pragmatism and precaution reflects a growing unease among tech insiders about the unchecked rise of artificial intelligence.
